I forgot to reply to this. One of the primary reasons to play marginal hands is to enhance the action you get with your better hands. In fact, it's often in your interest to play some -EV hands if this loosens up your image enough to earn you more +EV on your bigger hands. A similar (and probably significantly stronger) agrument can be made for raising with some -EV hands since this can dramatically increase the action you get with your best hands.

This may be true against opponents are paying attention and understand what they are doing.

I think that you and Piiop are overthinking this. We are not talking about a discussion of playing against good PLO players, if you find players that are doing more than looking at their own cards (and playing them incorrectly) find another table.

And again, same disclaimers - more than one way to beat PLO25 and this is a small point I believe, i.e. I can't imagine there being a great overall difference in EV here (either way).
